Please Help Support the Peterson Whānau

Our nephew Tyson just turned 6 years old. In March we were celebrating his birthday, and now our whānau is facing something we never imagined.

After suffering some serious seizures, he has been diagnosed with a brain tumour and is now in Starship Children’s Hospital receiving treatment.

His mum and dad, Sarah and Asher, have dropped everything to be by his side, along with his little sister Isla-Rose. They have been told they will likely need to stay in Auckland for at least a month, possibly longer, while surgeons work out the best way forward.

Like most young families, they rely on their income to get by. Being away from home for such a long time means they will have little to no income while trying to support their son through the biggest fight of his young life.

We are asking for a little awhi for this beautiful whānau during an incredibly hard time. Any donation, no matter how big or small, will help ease the financial pressure off travel, food, bills, and everyday expenses while they focus on what matters most - being together and supporting Tyson.

If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this page. Every share, message, prayer, and kind thought means so much.

Mā te kotahitanga e whai kaha ai tātau - Together we have strength.

Ka nui te aroha,

The Peterson and Apiti Whānau
